Nathan Bock has already signed as an uncontracted therefore Adelaide recieve zero for him.
Im fairly sure they are getting 2 x 1st round raft picks in exchange

"Bock's departure disappointed Trigg and Crows coach Neil Craig, who don't know what compensation they will receive for the 2008 All Australian and club champion.

Trigg believed it could be a draft pick numbered between 26 and 30.

"When it happens to you as a club and you get a 26 to 30 ... it stinks," Trigg said'

pick 26 will be a first round pick - just

and if they use it in 2012 it will drop 8 spots to pick 14

Yeah I think if you take the ears of the equation it does.

Through the eyes and cheek area it's a dead ringer and the lower half of the face is close.

I'm glad we discussed this.

Carry on. 8-)

Ha. Actually thought you wrote Op Shop.

Now that I see it's Cop Shop it seems I'm calling you a criminal Fireman. That's poor form.

Haven't got time to read through the whole thread but I gather this is about Bakes having Doc's cheeks and signing with the GC.

Will be sad to see the #10 go but that's footy I guess.

Now let's see, what else is happening with the Saints?

I think there's an Armo thread around here somewhere..............

Wrong. Not compulsory that a club MUST lose a player. If a player is uncontracted, Gold Coast can go after him for sure, but not a case where we must send one north!!

Absolutely, Yipper. Although available to them, GC are extremely unlikely to want a player from each club in any event. They already have enough good young players plus blokes like Daniel Harris, Danny Stanley, Michael Coad, K Hunt, Sam Iles and to fill at least half a side. They'll spread their spend over maybe min 6 max 10 players. In my view, they'll look for a mature ruckman (J Fraser, maybe?), a number of mature-bodied utilities, and otherwise bolster their defence with the available Bocks of this world.

I really think that Armo is an honest worker who is up against Eddy, Geary and Steven for a place, but he is 4th in line at the moment.
